Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa, “Sasa utaona nitakacho fanya kwa Farao. Utaona hili, kwa kuwa ata waacha waenda kwa mkono wangu hodari. Kwasababu ya mkono wangu hodari, ata waondoa nje ya nchi.”

2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.

Mungu akasema na Musa na kumwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh.

3 And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

Nilimtokea Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo kama Mungu mwenye nguvu; lakini kwa jina langu, Yahweh, sikujuliikana kwao.

4 And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they lived as strangers.

Pia niliimarisha agano langu na wao, ilikuwapatia nchi ya Kanani, nchi walioishi kama sio raia, nchi walio tanga tanga.

5 And I listened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

Zaidi ya yote, nimesikia kilio cha Waisraeli ambao wa Misri wame wa chukua watumwa, na nimekumbuka agano langu.

6 Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.

Kisha basi, sema kwa Waisraeli, 'Mimi ni Yahweh. Nitawatoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri, na kuwaweka huru na nguvu zao. Nitawaokoa kwa kudhihirisha nguvu zangu, na kwa matendo ya ajabu ya hukumu.

7 And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.

Nitawaleta kwangu kama watu wangu, na nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Mtajua kuwa mimi ndiye Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliye watoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri.

8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.

Nitawaleta kwenye nchi niliyo muahidi kumpa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Nitawapa kama mali yenu. Mimi ni Yahweh.”'

9 And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they listened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

Musa alipo waambia haya Waisraeli, hawakumsiliza kwasababu ya mateso magumu ya utumwa wao.

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Hivyo Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na kumwambia,

11 Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.

“Nenda umwambie Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awaache watu wa Israeli waondoke kwenye nchi yake.”

12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel listened not to me, and how shall Pharao listen to me? and I am not eloquent.

Musa akamwambia Yahweh, “Kama Waisraeli hawajanisikiliza mimi, kwa nini Farao anisikillize mimi, tangu mimi sio mzuri wakuzungumza?”

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Yahweh akasema na Musa na Aruni. Akawapa amri ya Waisraeli na Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awatoe Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri.

Hawa wanaume wawili walikuwa Musa na Aruni ambao Yahweh alisema, “Waleteni Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri, kwa makundi ya wanaume wapiganaji.”

27 These are they that spoke with Pharao king of Egypt, and Aaron himself and Moses brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,

Aruni na Musa wakazungumza na Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awaruhusu Waisraeli watoke Misri. Hawa walikuwa Musa na Aruni wale wale.

28 in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt;

Pale Yahweh alipo zungumza na Musa katika nchi ya Misri,

29 then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatever I say to you.

alimwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh. Sema kwa Farao, mfalme wa MIsri, kila kitu nitacho kwambia.”

30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao listen to me?

Lakini Musa alimwambia Yahweh, “Mimi sio mzuri wa kuongea, hivyo kwanini Farao anisikilize mimi?”
